 Welcome to the Department of Economics. Here at SOAS, our BA and BSc undergraduate programs will give you not only a solid grounding in theoretical models and mathematical, statistical and computing skills, but also the opportunity to apply these skills to real-world issues. At SOAS, you will study economics grounded in a global perspective with lecturers and tutors who have experience and expertise in researching issues facing governments, organizations and people in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, as well as in Europe and Latin America. Our diverse community of economists explore the challenges that these economies face, including the cost of living crisis, climate justice, gender, race, as well as other socio-economic inequalities and embed a global outlook in everything we teach. As you will see, your lecturers, professors and classmates come from all over the world with different perspectives and from various backgrounds. This is what makes SOAS education unique. Economics graduates leave SOAS to go on to successful careers. You will gain the skills needed to stand out from the crowd including an ability to think laterally, take a global perspective and employ critical reasoning. There is no better time to be a SOAS economist. Studying here, you'll be challenged to think differently and develop the practical skills necessary to navigate today's complex world.
